One Good Turn: A Novel56 reviews
Kate Atkinson

Back Bay Books, 2007

A perfect piece of literature!

+ Great read!
+ Convoluted mystery, told in a compulsively readable fashion.

This is what a great book is all about: Intrigue, surprise, brilliant, witty writing and great character development. A perfect mix of can't-put-down and great writing, Atkinson is up there with my all-time favorites, Jim Crace, John Banville, and Ian McKewan. HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ...

+ I too am hooked by Lisa See's Red Princess mysteries

I have to admit I have read every one of Lisa See's books. The Inspector Liu/Attorney Stark books are very different from her other books (Peony in Love, Snow Flower & the Secret Fan, On Gold Mountain), but what I love about this author is that each of her book is unique and full of surprises. I ...

Dark side of society. Oh, and CENSORSHIP

I read and loved OUT by Natsuo Kirino, so I felt like it was only natural for me to run out and buy GROTESQUE. I was not disappointed in any way--this reading experience has been both dark and illuminating. Each character (Yuriko, Miss Hirata, Kazue, and Zhang) has a different sort of struggle and ...

It adds a great deal to the feel of a book about historical events if the author is not only a good writer, but has a wide range of knowledge in the era written about.
